Tasting note
Earthy yet elegant red Burgundy, juicy with strawberry and cherry above a layer of mushrooms and forest floor.
Viticulture
The Pinot Noir vines are grown in deep limestone earth, with some traces of iron.
Vinification
The yield is kept respectably low in the vineyards and winemaking is of a very minimalist nature in the winery. Jean-Michel uses new oak to age his wines, but tempers it’s use in order to allow the fruit (that was so painstakingly and lovingly achieved over the previous year) to shine through and not be overpowered by clumsy barrel ageing.
Food Match
Will add an extra dimension when dining on truffles and mushroom based, creamy dishes, like a Piemontese risotto for example, or medium to lightly flavoured hard and creamy cheeses.
